Bill I was hair on fire when they told me walls were thin and the guy at Turnbull him hawd on if i could still shoot her. Since I’ve calmed down after talking to several people giving them the wall thickness numbers I was told. It’s a 00 28 inch barrel 28 gauge my great grandfather bought in 1917 that was treated like a field hand by my great uncle who got it after my great grandfather died. I traded a set on horns that came off the first steer butchered at the Swift Ft Worth plant to my second cousin for her. I then sent her to Turnbull for a full restoration. Got her back a few days ago. New stock, forearm, dent taken out of barrel, re blued, re case hardened, internals fixed and some parts replaced. Looks like she did when my great grandfather ordered her from H&D Folsom arms co In 1917. Im her caretaker for the next 20 to 30 years then I will hand her off to my favorite nephew. I just would like to get the repro barrel on her now so I can just shoot the hell out of it at clays and or daily hunting, and put on original barrel for a dove shoot and a quail hunt a few times a year.
